At densities ranging from half a million to 5 million gates, programmable devices still do not match the gate count of application-specific integrated circuits and system-on-chip designs that use ...

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing adoption of computer control systems in various industries. Input and output devices are ...

Configurable logic blocks (CLBs) house the logic for the FPGA. Typically, these CLBs contain enough logic to create a small state machine. A CLB normally contains RAM to create arbitrary combinatorial ...

Now is the time to invest in programmable logic devices (PLDs), and there’s no better way to do that than through Altera and Xilinx. Here are six reasons why. Logic is used to manage the interchange ...

The world has faced many geopolitical, environmental, economic, and technological changes over the past several years, and with these have come new learnings and opportunities to refine our practices ...

Multimedia devices or systems can range from a very basic consumer audio video player to a highly complex audio video capture, edit, and playback system used in a professional studio environment.

A system-on-module (SOM) introduced by Avnet Electronics Marketing boosts programmable logic threefold, enabling engineers to run more complex applications for models in evaluation and prototyping, ...

Complex FPGAs are increasingly taking on the characteristics of complete systems-on-a-chip, including embedded memory and processors, specialized I/O, and multiple differentiated power and ground ...

Engineers grappling with FPGA design have new EDA tools ready to reclaim time-to-design completion. Strategies for EDA tool usage will change course as gate levels, and ultimately costs, rise in ...

When electronics release the Magic Smoke, more often than not it’s a fairly sedate event. Something overheats, the packaging gets hot enough to emit that characteristic and unmistakable odor, and ...
